While September seems like forever away, I recently read an article, which made me incredibly excited for the autumn month. Fashion’s Night Out is an organization that was created last year to promote the fashion industry. For one night last September, designers, celebrities, models, and fashion editors arranged special after hour events at stores located throughout New York City, and twelve other cities around the world. In New York alone, over 800 stores participated throughout the five boroughs, creating a fabulous event for shoppers. This coming September, FNO plans to support the industry even further by hosting the largest fashion show in New York history: featuring over 200 top models wearing the season’s most desired clothing. The event is scheduled for September 7th, and will be held at Lincoln Center, Fashion Week’s new home; tickets will be going on sale this summer. In an article by NYDailyNews.com Anna Wintour, the current editor for Vogue, commented on the event saying, “We felt it is important for people to see what wonderful fashion will be in stores at that moment… this show will focus on the key trends we've identified for Fall so that shoppers will have plenty of inspiration to join the fun during Fashion's Night Out.” Oh Anna! While it is extremely unlikely that I will be attending the obviously ridiculously priced show, it is exciting to see the city’s reaction to NYC Fashion Week’s big move to Lincoln Center – after 15 years at Bryant Park, located on 5th avenue between 40th and 42nd street, the park will no longer host the event. I myself was lucky enough to attend a show this past March right before the move occurred. I can only hope that my luck will continue this coming September and I will be able to experience another fashion show first hand, for it’s first year at Lincoln Center. Either way, it will be exciting to see the designers fall collection, after all autumn is probably my favorite season.
Veronica, watch out for sounding like a pr person. oftentimes it's adjective that do it. saying something like "creating a fabulous event for shoppers." It feel more real if you give us a concrete detail that shows us what's fabulous about it, rather than jsut tell us. I like the "oh anna!"
